If you or someone you know has a mental disability, I’d like to refer you to a voter guide the Bazelon Center and the National Disability Rights Network have created.

The guide lists the rights of voters with mental disabilities by state.

In Massachusetts, the Constitution states that “Every citizen…excepting persons under guardianship… shall have a right to vote in such election.” They also note that there’s a “Sec of State opinion interpreting above provision to require a specific finding of incompetence to vote before disenfranchising someone.”
